Great Apartment & Location, But….
Pros
Dishwasher, central AC, laundry in basement. Literally zero pest control issues. Rent stabilized.
Cons
They won’t disclose that the building is rent stabilized, you need to do your research and find out yourself. Then you will spend the entire time you live there fighting to get put on the correct lease and due to the delays with DHCR you will leave never knowing if you were being charged the correct amount in rent. Take photos of EVERYTHING when you move in and when you leave. Make sure to have paper trails and save EVERYTHING. Landlord will try to charge inflated prices for repairs that amount to normal wear and tear and will refuse to return your security deposit. Ask for receipts, research vendors, they will all trace back to the management office address. Be prepared to go to court, if you want to get your security deposit back - this was done by at least three tenants that I am aware of.
DONT MOVE IN ANY OF THIS COMPANiES BUILDINGS!!
Pros
The building is nice, small, cute, wasn't expensive when I did live there so of course it seemed fine to me.
Cons
Mediocre management, horrendous greedy landlord, half assed repairs and attention to details, steals security deposits and will fight you in court despite being wrong, roaches, rude super who lied for the management.
Advice to the owners
Sell your properties to someone who doesn't run a scam.
